Considering the pig, a single-minded bestiary.

Artist Index

by cognomen, designation, pseudonym or sobriquet

And now, O Muse, with song so big,
Turn round to Gainsborough’s Girl and Pig,
Or Pig and Girl, I rather should have said;
The pig in white, I must allow,
Is really a well painted sow,
I wish to say the same thing of the maid.

— John Wolcot (1738-1819), better known as “Peter Pindar,” in his first ‘Ode to the Royal Academicians.’ He refers to Gainsborough’s Girl with Pigs.

This is an alphabetical index of artists listed by their last names; however due to different nationalities and customs of writing their names, something that seems like a last name, as in "Michelino da Besozzo" or "Jan van Orley" — may not be.

To avoid confusion here, poets are listed alphabetically by the last word in their title or name. So "Michelino da Besozzo" would be under "B" and "Jan van Orley" under "O".

Where it is applicable, individuals who are known only by a definitive work or pseudonym — "Master of Saint Veronica" — as well as those named but anonymous works — the "Luttrell Psalter" — are listed here by the first word in their familiar sobriquets.
